I've created some open source tools to make it easier to build custom Moteino nodes.  Links to code, videos and documentation are below.  I hope this will help get your projects working FAST!

I just added Arduino libraries and support for the RFM69 transceiver family.  I'll test the libraries when I get some Moteinos with RFM69 transceivers!  If you are able to get a project working before I can test the libraries, please post your success (or failure) here!  I'm happy for feedback!

Just added a demo video where I create a new Moteino node in under 8 minutes.  You can also see the longer version with explainations.

I just completed a new project using the Moteino Node Network. 

I wanted a keg scale to keep track of how much beer is left in my kegerator kegs.  And I wanted the scale to notify me when the keg is nearing empty (time to brew again!).  The moteino in this project reads the voltage provided by a load cell-instrumentation amplifier circuit.  I got the load cell from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NH9Q9LK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

Circuit design, Circuit calibration, and physical assembly took about a day once I had all the parts.  The Arduino code using the MNN libraries made programming and network integration quick and easy.  I've included photos of the result.

Now that testing is complete, I just have to paint, install, and get to work on my next project.

Need to install the MNN libraries?  No problem...
